Items 1–7 essentially guarantee the proliferation of nanoweapons, and even small nations may wield significant military might. The definition of a superpower will change. It will focus not solely on a nation’s nuclear arsenal and delivery systems but also on its nanoweapons arsenal and delivery systems. To my eye, this guarantees a new cold war.

In particular, I expect nations in the Middle East to be among the first to buy their way into becoming nanoweapons nations. I also expect the emergence of cold wars in the late 2020s and early 2030s:

1. The East versus West: China and Russia will square off against the United States and other NATO nations, like the United Kingdom and France.

2. The Middle East: Nations within the Middle East, and militant groups within those nations, will square off against each other for the same historical reasons that have engulfed that part of the world in conflict for thousands of years.

3. Korea: North Korea will square off against South Korea, as it has for over half a century.

4. Terrorism versus the rest of the world: Radicalized Islamist militant groups will square off against the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia, which they see as having exploited the Middle East to control the flow of oil.
